What does full spectrum mean?

If you’ve been doing research into CBD, it is likely that you’ve heard the term full-spectrum before. Full-spectrum hemp and broad-spectrum hemp are two different types of products. It’s important to learn the difference between these spectrums within a CBD oil for purchase so that you can get access to the best product.

Full-spectrum defined:

A full-spectrum extract means that the producers of the hemp plant were working to bring out every beneficial molecule from their hemp plants. The extraction processes are usually supercritical carbon dioxide or ethanol extraction. CO2 extraction is usually cleaner for the environment and for the end product.

A partial extraction will be a weaker formula and it’s often a system which is far less healthy for the environment as well as for the end user.

A hemp plant can contain over 100 different cannabinoids and CBD is just one of these properties. Being able to access the full spectrum of benefits without the psychoactive effects can be crucial to getting the most out of your CBD oil.

It’s also likely that you’ll hear about broad-spectrum and isolated CBD. CBD isolate is a white powder which is the isolated CBD molecule but it’s not always as effective as full spectrum extraction because it will not produce the entourage effect.
